NEW: When Nick Benson (@ottergoose.net) put out the call for dashcams to film ICE, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch in suburban Minneapolis. "We have to make sure we’re keeping track of our community members."

Do you ever come across an interesting article but halfway through you hit the paywall? Sometimes you’re lucky enough that someone posts a gift link and boom — you’re reading. Well, I built Skylink to easily find gift links — and then transformed it into a general search tool for any Bluesky feed!

Call me crazy, but I don't think the question of whether or not Bovino belongs in his job depends on whether or not he deletes the tweet he made calling protesters "cannon fodder." Making the tweet (along with many other things he's done) should disqualify him from any law enforcement job ever.

(around an image of a hand grabbing cash) The new MAGA tax proposal steals from the poor and gives to the rich.

$4.5 trillion in tax cuts disproportionately for billionaires and big corporations

Guts vital programs like Medicaid & SNAP by an estimated $2 trillion

Increases our country's debt by nearly $3 trillion

MAGA Republicans fight for the billionaire class-not you.
